Shirts - Massive Attack!


They say that it takes six miles of yarn to make one t-shirt...

I'm wondering how much time did it take Kaarina Kaikkonen to prepare one of her famous exhibitions.

They were made of... shirts.

Oh, there are also some jackets for a change. Smashing view! What a pity people's laudry doesn't usually look that good :(

But let's come back to the point, to the shirts. Not only did Kaarina love shirts so much. Below one of my favourite outfits by V&R.

Is there any conclusion here? Yes, it is! All you need is shirt!
